How do you load/secure mororcycles? Photos?
Hi All. Been looking to move up to a toy hauler. How does everyone secure motorcycles? All I'm seeing is D-rings in the garage floors. I'm mechanically inclined & can do mods.

My problem with a Toy Hauler is, why give up 10 foot or more of your trailer just to haul a motorcycle, & if there is a gas or oil leak from the motorcycle while in the Toy Hauler, your whole trailer smells like gas/oil..this is the reason I haul my bike in the pickup bed with a travel trailer, which I use D-rings to tie my bike to the pickup bed.
We full time in our TH. I have a desk built for my Ham radios and a sewing table for the wife. Typically when w e get somewhere for 4 or more days, we'll offload the GoldWing(no gas or oil leaks), lay down a carpet, and it becomes an additional 10' of living space/ radio room/ sewing space. That gives us 43 ft of living space which suits us fine. It has its own AC, TV, stereo and DVD so it also serves as alternate living room, especially if we have the back deck deployed.
On the next post about not using a chock, I'd recommend against not using one. Mine bolts into the frame using the front center tie downs bolts. It takes me all of 1minutee to remove the chock before putting down the carpet. I don't want to have a $25k bike dropped for want of a couple extra minutes, but that's me.
